O.P. MSN Messenger team talks about Plus!
From the official chat the MSN Messenger team hosted yesterday:

quote:
(...)

Q: DO YOU USE MSGR PLUS! ???

A: Not really, because changes in our code usually breaks Messenger Plus, and we always use the latest build of MSN Messenger

(...)

Q: roger: why dont you assist the development of plus and other addons by publicizing apis again or publishing debug symbols? or helping/commented at msn developer sites like the aforementioned msnfanatic, or the messenger plus forums

A: We once considered something like this, but found the resources to support so many third party developers was beyond our scope

(...)

Q:Roger, so you check Messenger Plus when you build a new version of MSN Messenger?

A: No. We're relatively certain it won't work, at least, that's the history

(...)

Full log




Quite interesting... :dodgy:

why would they lie about that? For them, Messenger Plus! is just an add-on. They're not gonna try to prevent Plus! from working with the newest MSN Messenger version as Plus! gives them more users. They just implement their own new features and if a security hole is being detected in an older version they make sure it's solved in the new one, if this prevents Plus! from working then it is it that way.

Yes. Plus! didn't work with msn 6 for quite a while.

What's so special about their answers? That's completely normal. You can't satisfy everyone.

Exactly.

And if that was directed to me, Millennium (I don't think it was, but whatever :P), I just posted this because it's interesting to know what the people who make MSN Messenger think about Plus!, and to know they are very aware of it. Not because their answers are special or anything. :tongue:
